As I opened the iTunes store today to get the free download of the week, another free download there was also waiting. And I couldn't have been more excited.
The Alchemist!
If you haven't had the chance to read it, do download the audiobook (but also buy the book too!). It's a quick read, but a great one at that. Everyone I've recommended it to have ended up loving it. That's a testament to how great a book it is. And now it's a free download too. And these audiobooks don't come cheap either. They are usually around $20. I have debated downloading it recently but didn't want to pay that kind of price. Patience paid off!
Get it fast. It's only available until July 14.
Here are some quick facts about the book:
* Originally published in 1988, The Alchemist has been translated into 56 languages, and has sold more than 65 million copies in more than 150 countries, and is one of the best selling books in history.
* It is a symbolic story that urges its readers to follow their dreams.
* Some have also compared and contrasted this story and the journey of Santiago to the Biblical account of the Prodigal Son.
